Analysis of the Contribution of Hemocytes and Autophagy to Drosophila Antiviral Immunity
24 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Antiviral immunity in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster involves the broadly active intrinsic mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi) and virus-specific inducible responses. Here, using a panel of six viruses, we investigated the role of hemocytes and autophagy in the control of viral infections. Injection of latex beads to saturate phagocytosis, or genetic depletion of hemocytes, resulted in...
